Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which wou

ld allow astronauts to experience a sort of artificial gravity when walking along the inner wall of the station's outer rim.1. Imagine one such station with a diameter of 110 m, where the apparent gravity is 2.70 m/s2 at the outer rim. How fast is the station rotating in revolutions per minute?2. How fast would the space station have to rotate, in revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity that is produced to equal that at the surface of the Earth, 9.80 m/s2?

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}

b. the rotation needed is 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

a_{c}= \omega ^2 r

where \omega is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).

<h3>a. </h3>

The rotational speed  is :

2.7 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110  \ m

\omega ^2 = \frac{2.7 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}

\omega  = \sqrt{ 0.02454 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }

\omega  = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}

Knowing that there are 2\pi \ rad in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

\omega  = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}  \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}

\omega  = 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}

<h3>b. </h3>

The rotational speed needed is :

9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110  \ m

\omega ^2 = \frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}

\omega  = \sqrt{ 0.08909 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }

\omega  = 0.2985 \frac{rad}{s}

Knowing that there are 2\pi \ rad in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

\omega  = 0.2985 \frac{rev}{min}  \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}

\omega  = 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}

Answer:

1)The station is rotating at 2.11 revolutions per minute

2) The space station will have to rotate at as peed of 4.03 revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity to equal that at the surface of earth (9.8 m/s²)

Explanation:

1)

a_{c}=ω²r = ω²d/2

Here,

a_{c}=2.7 m/s²

d = 110 m

therefore,

ω² = (2.7 m/s²)(2)/(110 m)

ω = √0.049 rad/s²

ω = 0.2216 rad/s

To convert into rev/min

ω = (0.2216 rad/s)(1 rev/2π rad)(60 s/ 1min)

<u>ω = 2.11 rev/min</u>

2)

Here,

a_{c}=g=9.8 m/s²

d = 110 m

therefore,

ω² = (9.8 m/s²)(2)/(110 m)

ω = √0.178 rad/s²

ω = 0.4221 rad/s

To convert into rev/min

ω = (0.4221 rad/s)(1 rev/2π rad)(60 s/ 1min)

<u>ω = 4.03 rev/min</u>

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

f1 = 58.3Hz, f2 = 175Hz, f3 = 291.6Hz

Explanation:

lets assume speed of sound is 350 m/s.

frequencies of a standing wave modes of an open-close tube of length L

fm = m(v/4L)

where m is 1,3,5,7......

and fm = mf1

where f1 = fundamental frequency

so therefore: f1 = 350 x 4 / 1.5

f1 = 58.3Hz

f2 = 3 x 58.3

f2 = 175Hz

f3 = 5 x 58.3

f3 = 291.6Hz

What is the distance to a star whose parallex is 0.1 sec?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

30.86\times 10^{13} km

Explanation:

Given the parallex of the star is 0.1 sec.

The distance is inversely related with the parallex of the star. Mathematically,

d=\frac{1}{P}

Here, d is the distance to a star which is measured in parsecs, and P is the parallex which is measured in arc seconds.

Now,

d=\frac{1}{0.1}\\d=10 parsec

And also know that,

1 parsec=3.086\times 10^{13} km

Therefore the distance of the star  is 30.86\times 10^{13} km away.

The student's shoulder supports the weight of the bag.

<h3>What is the free body diagram?</h3>

Free-body diagrams are utilized to display the relative direction and strength of all forces that are being applied to an item in a certain scenario. A unique illustration of the geometric diagrams that were covered in a previous lesson is the free-body diagram. We will make use of these graphics throughout the entire study of physics.

A university student is carrying a backpack. One strap is hanging the rucksack immobile from one shoulder.

The weight of the backpack is balanced by the shoulder of the student.

The free-body diagram is attached below.

More about the free body diagram link is given below.
